3 Reasons Liverpool Must Recruit Arturo Vidal

Liverpool must lose Fabinho because of an injury. The absence of the Brazilian player is certainly bad news for the Reds.

Since last season, Fabinho has a crucial role in the Liverpool squad. He did his job well in the defensive midfielder sector of the Reds.

But last week, Fabinho got a pretty bad injury. He is expected to be absent long enough from the Liverpool squad.

According to reports, Liverpool began looking for a coating for Fabinho's injury. They reportedly want to bring a new defensive midfielder in the winter transfer market.

Liverpool can consider Barcelona midfielder the Reds. The Chilean is expected to leave Camp Nou in January.

Here are three reasons why Liverpool should bring Arturo Vidal in January

Strong mentality 

 Vidal is known for his non-bullshit and strong style of play. He was blessed with extraordinary physical strength which made him an intimidating figure in midfield. He knows when to commit an offense and is also quite proficient in reading football.

In addition, Vidal is a leader, which can be useful for Liverpool even though they already have many leaders like James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Virgil van Dijk. Therefore, his strong mentality and leadership qualities can give Jurgen Klopp more substance in midfield.

Very Suitable for the Klopp System

Vidal will be the perfect addition to Klopp's Gegenpressing style of football in Liverpool. Therefore, the mentality of the Chilean player can match the aggressive style of play that makes Liverpool one of the most feared teams in Europe.

The Barcelona star can easily move to midfield in the 4-3-3 scheme that Klopp likes. His willingness to close the opponent's movements coupled with his ability to pass passes to the final third makes it an ideal component because the Reds naturally do not have true creative power in midfield.

Experienced Players

Vidal can adjust the style of English football that is fast thanks to his strong approach. But, his extensive experience can help him quickly integrate into English football.

Vidal has made more than 350 competitive appearances during his time in Spain, Germany and Italy. He also packed 113 caps for Chile. And his experience at the highest level can certainly benefit Liverpool, who really need someone who can make an instant impact.

In addition, the Chilean player is quite synonymous with success after winning three Bundesliga titles, two Copa America titles and one La Liga title besides the other trophies. Therefore, he can also inject a champion mentality into the Liverpool team, who are trying to win their first Premier League title in club history.
